Chapter 7: Bad News
Chapter VII
The Lu family is considered a rich and noble family in the area of Fengqiumen Street, the restaurant is the highest, the restaurant is rich in dishes, the guests are like clouds, and Lu Sheng has only one sister Lu Lin, in the eyes of the women on the street in this area, he is still a standard future golden beetle son-in-law, I don't know which girl's daughter is cheaper.
As for Wu Bai, his father and brother all eat public food, and small businessmen and small households have to deal with the public family, and they will also bother his family to invite one or two. In addition, Wu Bai's mother is a kind woman, his brother Wu Song is sixteen years old, and he has not yet been engaged, and he can be regarded as a loyal man who can be married in this neighborhood.
The He family has three daughters, in addition to Lin Biluo is a little younger, and there are more factors to consider in marriage, the eldest sister is already an age that can be considered, although the matchmaker on the street has not yet come to the door, but she has privately considered the young man on the street, there are young people who come to the house as guests, even if they are younger, it has not yet been the time to get married, and He's eyes are also soft with some "mother-in-law" warmth.
Lin Baosheng and He left them for lunch, thanked Lu Sheng for the snacks, and when they left, He also wrapped a bag of candied fruit from the shop for each of them as a return gift.
Lu's restaurant will also have this kind of snack for diners to pass the time while waiting for the dish, Lu Sheng took it home, and then gave it to the maid ring in the room, but Wu Bai's family had to buy everything from the street, and suddenly saw Wu Bai bring candied fruit in, and his Aniang Gu family also knew to bring snacks back to his mother and sister when the child grew up.
Wu Bai's sister Wu Mei was thirteen years old, opened the candied fruit, tasted it and smiled: "Auntie, I said in the morning that I wanted to eat the Lin family's candied fruit, but I never thought that my brother would buy it back after a trip." ”
The Lin family originally made candied fruits, which can be regarded as an ancestral craft, and when it came to Lin Baosheng's generation, he was kicked out of the house, and Lin Yousheng was in charge of the family shop, but in the line of candied fruits, raw materials are very important.
Jiang's woman saw that the fruit was cheap, and naturally all the fruit was used, and the taste was not as good as before, and the Jiang family was very mean, and gradually the business was not good, so her old shop did not make fruit preserves, only sold some odd and miscellaneous goods, and the business did not improve.
On the contrary, Lin Baosheng, who later bought a house and opened a shop, strictly controlled the raw materials of the candied fruits sold at home, tasted good, treated people kindly, and the business was very good.
"You just remember to eat snacks, and you don't ask Bai Ge'er if you have lunch?" Gu's memory hangs on Wu Bai.
Wu Bai smiled: "I didn't buy this candied fruit, it was given by Aunt He." The meal I had at Brother Nan'er's house today. ”
Although the Gu family dislikes the Jiang family very much, the He family has a good impression: "Speaking of which, Lin Dalang's family is a loyal and good person. ”
This Lin Dalang naturally refers to Lin Baosheng.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Lin Dalang, a good and loyal person in Gu's mouth, had an accident......
On the morning of Lin Baosheng's accident, he and his buddies drove to the fruit orchard in the countryside early in the morning to harvest fruits.
In previous years, during the fruit harvest season, Lin Baosheng had to take the little guy to go, the orchards were on the slopes or mountains, the back and forth was not easy to walk, and he had to stare at the fruit farmers loading baskets, and when the toss was over, it would be dark when he entered the city.
In the afternoon of this year, the young man broke into the shop with blood on half of his body, and shouted: "Shopkeeper lady, shopkeeper...... The shopkeeper is dying......"
He Shi only felt a buzz in his head, as if his blood vessels had burst, and for a moment he was having auditory hallucinations, he fixed his mind, holding on to the counter, and could support himself to stand there, so he asked with some hesitation: "The shopkeeper's ...... What happened to the shopkeeper? In fact, her voice was vibrato.
The young man was sweating all over his face, there were traces of crying on his face, his eyes were red at the moment, and he was very embarrassed, he was standing outside the counter, his voice was also hoarse, and he repeated again: "The shopkeeper's ...... He was in the cart while he was loading the cart in the orchard, and a child in the garden threw a firecracker at the foot of the horse, and the horse was so frightened that the shopkeeper could not stop the horse, and rolled down the hill and hit his head on the stone...... I sent him to the Bohol Hall on Front Street......"
He only felt that her hands and siblings were weak, as if someone had pulled out her backbone, and she didn't even have the strength to stand. Ying'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her, she was sure that she was sure to ask, "What did Doctor Qian say?" ”
Baohetang's Dr. Qian's medical skills are ancestral, and he is very famous in this area, if he says that there is no hope, then Lin Baosheng will ......
Tears rolled down the man's eyes again: "Doctor Qian said...... Doctor Qian said to move the shopkeeper to the house as soon as possible......
He is just a buddy, what Dr. Qian told him was to call the housewife to come, and he beckoned someone to send Lin Baosheng home, just by virtue of his little buddy, in case something happened on the way, the responsibility was too heavy for him to bear.
The young man has been working in the Lin family's shop for five years, from a hairy apprentice to a seventeen-year-old young man, he has always been very diligent, and he is also very harmonious with Lin Baosheng's family, but he didn't know that he had encountered such a major event.
Completely unexpected.
Although He is a weak woman, the whole family can only count on her, and she assigned the young man: "Go to the old mansion and call the uncle to Baohetang to help." He pointed to Ying'er again: "You go to the school and call the two children home, in case you ...... In case they can see him, Daddy Zuihou ...... "I turned my head and went to the inner courtyard to call Lin Biyun and Lin Biyue sisters."
When they ran all the way to Baohetang, Lin Baosheng was still a little conscious, there was no blood on his head, and there were large traces of blood on his body.
He has tried his best, but there is nothing he can do.
Lin Baosheng seemed to see He Shi coming in in a trance, but at this moment he was not very conscious, so he stretched out his hand with difficulty and whispered: "Spring embroidery......"
This is the name of the He family, the Lin sisters have never heard this name, seeing that the He family stepped forward with tears and held Lin Baosheng's bloodstained hand, "Brother Baosheng-"
The sisters were frightened and stupid, and stood by in a daze, only to shed tears.
“…… They all blame me for not being capable...... You have suffered with me...... Spring embroidery ......"
He Shi only shook his head, tears rained down, and he whimpered: "Brother Baosheng, I didn't suffer!" Not really! ”
Dr. Qian shook his head sadly beside him, although he was used to seeing life and death, but he felt pitiful when he saw Lin Baosheng having an accident at this age and leaving four children behind.
After a while, Lin Yousheng also rushed in and shouted, "Brother...... Brother ...... "followed by Aunt Lin who was crying and grabbing the ground."
Aunt Lin's cry was very sharp, and I didn't know if it was the mother-son connection, or if Aunt Lin's cry was too terrifying, Lin Baosheng's spirit was shocked, and he actually sobered up, and saw clearly the He family who was crying like a tearful person in front of him, and the two girls standing next to him, and forced out a smile: "I...... Out of the way...... Don't even cry......"
Lin Yousheng stepped forward and went to carry Lin Baosheng with the young man, and Aunt Lin was about to pounce on Lin Baosheng: "Baosheng my son...... You're ripping your mother's flesh......"
Doctor Qian hurriedly made a look, two apprentices in the medical hall stepped forward and held her up, Aunt Lin was about to sprinkle, Doctor Qian shouted: "Everyone is dying, and you are still making trouble?!" ”
Aunt Lin stopped struggling, and just watched Lin Baosheng cry.
Another apprentice in the medical hall helped the young man and Lin Yousheng to carry Lin Baosheng to the cart outside, the horse was frightened, and after Lin Baosheng was turned upside down and seriously injured, it stopped running. The young man and the fruit farmer carried Lin Baosheng to the cart and drove him to the city.
The fruit farmer's surname is Meng, about fifty years old, everyone calls him Meng Bo, and Lin Baosheng has cooperated for many years, the Lin family shop has to buy all kinds of fruits from their house every year, I never expected this kind of thing to happen today, in fact, the whole person is a little stupid. And the child who threw firecrackers was not from his family, but a child from someone in the city, who went to the countryside to play, and the servant at home took him to the orchard to buy fruit......
The young man drove, He got in the car to help Lin Baosheng, and the rest of the people followed behind and rushed home, and Meng Bo followed to see what he could help.
In the school, Lin Biluo and Lin Nan were in class, and Ying'er broke in and asked Mr. Bao for leave. Mr. Bao let the two of them go home. The children in the first classroom all looked around, secretly envious that the two of them could skip class in the open today.
Along the way, Lin Biluo and Lin Nan asked the reason for asking for leave, Ying'er only squeaked, seeing that Lin Nan was only eight years old, even if he was a man, he couldn't help but feel that the sky was falling.
Lin Biluo looked at Ying'er's face, and had a premonition in her heart, she had gone through a lifetime of human experience, and her heart was actually not a little Lori, so she grabbed her brother's soft little hand and said softly: "Since Ying'er didn't say it, she must have her reasons." Brother must remember that no matter when, you are a man! She didn't think about it at all, she only instinctively looked solemn, about the Lin family's debts, bankruptcy, and once returned to the pre-liberation economic problems, how do you know that the truth is a hundred times more serious than this.
When the two children arrived at the door, they saw that the door of the shop had been closed, Lin Biluo thought, after all, the family could share weal and woe, so they were ready to meet the cruel reality of poverty, but when they entered the inner courtyard, they could hear the cry of Aunt Lin in the room, which was really about to lift the roof, and their hearts suddenly tightened, and the sisters and brothers rushed in hand and ......
